NTFSD Members:
A) As you probably know, there are three ways to read the NTDEV/NTFSD lists:
- Via email – List listserv
- Via newsreader – Like usenet
- Via the web interface at www.osronline.com
We propose to DISCONTINUE the web option, as it is seldom used. Let us know
if you care.
We will KEEP the interface that allows you to maintain your list membership
settings via the web. We are NOT proposing to remove this feature.
B) While only members may post comments to the list, the NTDEV and NTFSD
lists are available to the public via the web interface as well as via the
newsreader interface.
We propose to DISCONTINUE public access to the list via newsreader or web,
and only allow members to read messages posted to the list. Our goal for
this proposal is to reduce spam to our members. Let us know if you care.
This change is the result of our instituting a very cool and accurate
thread-based search facility from the www.osronline.com home page. We
propose that THIS interface remain public (note that email addresses in this
seach facility are obscured).
Because these lists are run for the benefit of the community, we want to
know your opinions on this topic. Of course, we’re intersted in your
opinions on any other topics regarding the list as well. Please feel free
to send comments OFF LIST to xxxxx@lists.osr.com.
Thanks,
Peter
List Slave Emeritus
